Are there available properties that will suite ones needs? Who will my customers be? What rates are currently being charged for day care in China? What supplies will be needed, can these supplies be purchased in china, or will they need to be imported? What will the hours of operation be? What certifications are needed if any?

Abstract
This paper explains that, from the 1950s to the 1980s, China made remarkable gains in health and life expectancy due to a broad, publicly financed and implemented disease prevention strategies with accessible health services. Nonetheless, beginning in the early 1990s, mortality rates increased in some very poor areas. The author points out that tuberculosis remains a major killer and cause of morbidity; other infectious and endemic diseases pose significant burdens, particularly in rural areas where the major causes of death are associated with maternal and child health; additional problems are the recent growing incidence of HIV/AIDS and the SARS epidemic. The paper stresses that basic public health functions cannot be provided reliably through reliance on market mechanisms and that public financing is required to benefit the whole of society.
From the Paper
"China's image around the world was damaged due to the government's evasive and tardy response to the challenge of the SARS virus that led to the disease spreading nationwide and worldwide. By the middle of 2003, the disease had spread to more than thirty countries, and the rapidity of the spread triggered fears around the globe resulting in about one hundred countries enforcing border control in an attempt to keep the virus out. More than ten countries announced that Chinese citizens would not be allowed to enter their countries, while the rest imposed restrictions on Chinese citizens going to their countries to prevent a SARS outbreak."

Abstract
The pace of economic and political change in China has been very rapid, for both have shifted into what seems to be an ongoing expansion into a capitalist system. This paper shows that, since the early reforms, a new class of wealthy and prosperous Chinese has emerged, not to mention the great growth of the Chinese middle class, which is now comparable to that in the United States. By exploring some aspects of its long and violent past, especially those that took place in the later years of the 20th century, the paper shows how China has also changed from a socialist society that restricted private lives and affairs to a consumer society with increased economic freedom and individual participation.
From the Paper
"Beginning in 1964, China secretly initiated a crash industrialization program that was originally intended as a backup for any kind of military strike by the United States or the Soviet Union. Because much of China's industry was then concentrated on the Pacific coast, the leaders endorsed a highly-centralized investment plan to erect new industrial facilities in remote regions of the country. By 1971, this military-industrial program absorbed the majority of China's investments and eventually relocated existing factories from the coast and created a heavy industrial system that was able to produce every conceivable piece of military equipment. Surprisingly, the turmoil associated with the Cultural Revolution did not highly affect this industrial program, for in reality, it surged ahead by starting "many projects before the planning was complete and scattering many new facilities in remote valleys to protect them from air attack" (Hsu 184)."

Armistice Day - Veteran's Day, 2002.
This paper discusses the history of Armistice Day that began after WWI.
3,369 words (approx. 13.5 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 95.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper looks at the origins and rituals surrounding Armistice Day, or as it is better known, Veteran's Day. The author explains how Armistice Day began after WWI and was treated as a holiday and since it was created, many different rituals are carried out. The paper refers to many sources describing the changes in the way Americans celebrated Veteran's Day after WWI to the present.
From the Paper
"At 11 a. m. on November 11, 1918, the imperial German army radioed to the world that it had signed the Allied unconditional terms of surrender, and had agreed to the laying down of arms. The guns of the Great War became silent, and were replaced by outbursts of joy across the nation. It was finally over, over there. In 1995, New York City commemorated this event with 500,000 cheering, flag-waving spectators lining the roads. With thundering drums punctuating nostalgic Glenn Miller swing music, tens of thousands of proud American warriors marched out of the past and up Fifth Avenue in New York's largest Veterans Day Parade since the end of World War II. This 1995 parade was a victory of sorts due to the fact that, in recent years, Veterans Day observations have become, as Robert McFadden says, "desultory at best, with spectators often limited to passers-by walking their dogs or heading out for a quart of milk." This parade was evidence of a revival in veteran appreciation, and a renewal of Veterans Day as a much-celebrated American holiday. But while this parade can be used to model a renewal in ceremony and enthusiasm, the true meaning of Veterans Day, or Armistice Day as it was originally called, has been lost through name changes and changes in those it is supposed to honor."

Abstract
This paper reviews "Understanding China: A Guide to China's Economy, History and Political Structure" by John Bryan Starr. This paper discusses China's ancient culture and its emergence as one of the foremost powers in the modern world. This paper focuses on China's recent admission to the World Trade Organization and as well as its economy which is set to become the largest in the world within the next few years. The writer of this paper examines China's political history and contends that in spite of the country's numerous transformations, the structure of the government is today fundamentally identical with what it was under the later imperial dynasties. Today, there is no emperor at the top, but instead a small committee of the leading members of various political parties who hold much the same position. Although there had been significant changes in China's economy, few political changes transpired. The communists still hold a monopoly of power and although its economic policies scarcely seem to be communist anymore, it does not intend to relax its political grip.
From the Paper
"Starr contends that China remains one of the most self-contained and hence inscrutable countries in the world. It has an ancient culture of major historical importance, and has been emerging as one of the foremost powers of the modern world. It is the third largest country in the world and certainly the most populous, with about one-fifth of the world's total population. Modern communications make it as easy to reach Beijing from London or New York as it is to get to Singapore or Nairobi. Yet China remains little known and poorly understood; few foreigners learn its language or study its history and culture. Although foreign trade and tourism have increased dramatically in the last decade, they are only very slowly leading to any changes in foreign perceptions of China."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the rapid pace of economic and political change in China, explaining that both have shifted into was seems to be an on-going expansion into a capitalist system. The paper contends that, since all of the early reforms, a new class of wealthy and prosperous Chinese has emerged, not to mention the great growth of the Chinese middle class, which is now comparable to that in the United States. The paper describes how China has changed from a socialist society that restricted private lives and affairs to a consumer society with increased economic freedom and individual participation.
From the Paper
"A second influence from China's past that continues to manifest itself in contemporary Chinese politics is the influence of what is known as guanxi, "a network of patron/client ties that stretch from the top to the bottom of the Chinese political hierarchy." 4 This concept clearly reveals that such connections can be explained in terms of the relationship between the major figures and the secondary/tertiary figures in the Chinese political system. With this in mind, the Cultural Revolution is a splendid example of Mao's manipulation of the guanxi system and his elimination of his rivals, such as Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping. Interestingly enough, the obvious failure of Hua Guofeng to bring about his position as Mao's successor between 1977 and 1979 can be traced to his somewhat lacking guanxi connections within the party/state hierarchy; in contrast, Deng Xiaoping who possessed a very wide and complex guanxi network quickly took over as the leader of China following the death of Mao Tse-tung."

Arab-Israeli Conflict: The Six-Day War, 2002.
A day-by-day discussion of the events of the Six-Day War.
3,235 words (approx. 12.9 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper breaks the war down, and gives details of the events of each day. The paper also looks at the broader political picture and how this conflict fits into it. By recounting a brief history of the Middle East post World War II and examining the events of the Six-Day War, this paper reveals how Israel's military progress was both advanced and restricted by the influence of the Super-powers in the region.
From the Paper
"The Six Days War was essentially a regional conflict until one considers its broader Cold War strategic implications. As a client of the United States, Israel was able to utilize its air power to its fullest, allowing the Israeli army to make astounding gains in the course of a few days. So dominant was the air superiority of Israel that the conquest of the Arab nations surrounding it seemed almost inevitable. Further, support from the United States in the form of military hardware and diplomatic inaction allowed Israel to prosecute the war more effectively and to extend its dominance over its Arab neighbours in less than a week. Conversely, the threat of intervention by the USSR, in order to protect strategic interests in the region, prevented Israel from completely conquering the Middle East. "

Doing Business with China, 2006.

Abstract
This paper reviews Burstein and de Keijzer's "Big Dragon China's Future: What it Means for Business, the Economy, and the Global Order" in which both authors predict that by the 2030s China will be the world's largest economy. This paper discusses the various companies that have suffered due to the shifting politics of foreign policy between China being in favor one day and out the next. This paper also details the views of Jeffrey Garten, a writer for "Harvard Business Review" who sees China as enticement for foreign investors, yet stresses caution should be used in developing any business relationship with China. This well-written paper covers several areas regarding China's economy including a U.S. initiative supporting China's membership in the World Trade Organization, expansion of U.S. public-private partnerships to invest and help solve particular problems in China and development of China's policy mutually with U.S. allies. "Big Dragon" profiles many individual Chinese entrepreneurs and others who are bringing a new China into being. This paper also focuses on Zhang Wei, one of China's more successful entrepreneurs, who went from government researcher to heading a company employing 400 in only three years. Despite the differences between practices in China and other countries, many corporations are willing to take a big gamble on China, seeing that their future is dependent on their performance in China.
From the Paper
"Over the course of his history, Zhang has captured the essence of the Chinese business world of "catch-as-catch-can". His corporation has various types of holdings, often-different one from the other. Zhang has bridged the gap across the Pacific with the United States with his position of "master franchise holder in China" of an American company, Fun World. What makes this situation particularly unique is that it is one of the first companies in China "to buy an interest in a U.S. company." At the time Big Dragon was written, Zhang was "negotiating an arrangement that would shift manufacturing of all the equipment for the centers to China." Zhang hopes to take the U.S. company over altogether, including the export of the concept to "other countries and selling the franchisees Chinese-made equipment." Zhang has encountered some problems along the way, problems that are compounded by China's culture and lack of laws, which govern specific business issues. One is that franchisees have stolen the company name and have opened their own centers."

USA and China Hostilities, 2008.
This paper addresses the issues of America's trade imbalance with China and China's industrial spying.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses America's trade imbalance with China that is fueled by China's failure to prevent copyright infringement and the sale of counterfeit goods as well as China's artificial currency devaluation. The paper also looks at the issue of Chinese spies stealing industrial secrets from American and European firms. The paper provides suggestions for improvement and argues that America needs to peacefully use their economic position to force China to compete fairly. The paper asserts that America should use legal, diplomatic and media pressure to force China to behave ethically.
From the Paper
"The United States and China have a long history of hostility and distrust. In recent years this hostility has centered on several economic issues. These include America's trade imbalance with China, a deficit fueled in part by a huge Chinese market in pirated American intellectual property and brand name knock-offs. Further, U.S. and European firms claim that Chinese industrial spies have stolen technology for products ranging from computer chips to cruise missiles."

Abstract
Few would dispute that China has acquired considerable economic and political powers in the region. Despite achieving progress, liberal economic policies in China have caused many social ills including the rise of criminal syndicates. This paper examines the recent rise of crime in China placing it in the context of economic and political progress and argues that the latter is cohesive enough to outweigh crimes in future China.

Global Health Care, 2004.
This paper reviews six global health care journal articles, each one specific to an individual topic about variations and trends in health care around the world.
6,500 words (approx. 26.0 pages), 6 sources, APA, $ 149.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that after a country attains a certain economic level, the degree to which an individual receives good health care is determined by other factors, including poverty, which is present even in the wealthiest societies. The author points out that Canada's health care is superior to that in the United States, offers more flexibility, and should be used as a model for the United States. The paper relates that the U.S. and other countries are facing challenges to funding national health care; however, in other countries, these challenges are often met through incentives and additional taxation, which is largely opposed in the United States.
Table of Contents
Broad Topic - Variations and Trends in Health and Disease around the World
Topic - Canada's Health Care and How it Differs from the U.S.
Topic - Dynamics of Different Health Care Systems
Topic - Functioning of Different Health Care Systems
Topic - Global Impact of Various Health Care Systems
Topic - China Health Care and Its Global Impact
From the Paper
"More specifically Martens attempts to define global and regional dynamics that might influence health and disease trends. He concludes that managing health variations and transition effectively in the future will require "a micro and macro approach" that takes into consideration the social, cultural and behavioural determinants of health. In his work Martens claims that socio-economic change and public health initiatives as well as technology have contributed to a shift in health and disease toward the positive. To support this premise he points out that the average life expectancy is doubled across the globe and infant and mortality rates have sharply declined."

From the Paper
"On December 11, 2001, China officially became a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO), opening the country's doors to change and a new economy. One year after China's entry into the WTO, the country reported great success, showing better-than-expected economic growth and fulfillment of its WTO commitments, despite its shaky world economy. The excellent performance of the Chinese economy was clearly demonstrated by its eight percent growth rate in gross domestic product, as well as the significant growth in trade and inflow of foreign direct investment. As a result of its inception into the WTO, financial experts forecast that China will become the fifth trading country with an import-export volume worth US$600 billion and one of the most attractive areas for foreign direct investment, which exceeded US$50 billion in 2002 alone."

Abstract
This research paper discusses the role of China in the origin, course and the outcome of World War II. Because of internal Chinese divisions, weaknesses in the Chinese Nationalist government and the priorities accorded to other theaters of war, China never played the role envisaged for it by some Allied leaders and war planners; nevertheless, events there served to enmesh Japan in an unsustainable military adventure on the Asian mainland and to weaken its overall war effort.

"CHINA'S ROLE IN WORLD WAR II
This research paper discusses the role of China in the origin, course and the outcome of World War II. Because of internal Chinese divisions, weaknesses in the Chinese Nationalist government and the priorities accorded to other theaters of war, China never played the role envisaged for it by some Allied leaders and war planners; nevertheless, events there served to enmesh Japan in an unsustainable military adventure on the Asian mainland and to weaken its overall war effort.
1937-1941
World War II began at different times for different nations. For Britain, France, Poland and Germany, it began in 1939, for Italy in 1940, for Russia in June 1941, for the United States with the Pearl Harbor attack and the German declaration of war in ..."

Abstract
This paper will look at the sensitive issue of human rights abuses in China.
